Elsewhere I posted a hand where I successfully snowed
See: https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?postid=3252846#post3252846
In this hand, I'm hoping for a Badugi, but I have a very good 3-card hand, and double opponent's stack, so called off his pot-sized bet after the third draw.
Conclusions:
A huge stack always helps
I need to do this more -- on both ends.
Aggression pays.
Having very smooth draws is the way to go.
Comments?
